I installed the KVH Azimuth at my PH helm because there was too much interference for the mechanical to work. I left a matching mechanical compass (my terminology is probably wrong, but I believe both the KVH and what I am calling mechanical are magnetic, its just that the KVH relies on a remote flux gate sensor) on the flybridge. Both also display a satellite compass (Furuno SC-50), which I accept as perfectly accurate. The KVH is much more accurate than the mechanical.
